MAJESTIC CARE OF SOUTHPORT

Majestic Care of Southport is a for-profit, corporate-owned skilled nursing facility located at 8549 S Madison Ave in Indianapolis, Indiana (ZIP 46227), within Marion County. The facility operates 122 certified beds and participates in both Medicare and Medicaid programs, making it eligible to serve a broad range of residents requiring short-term rehabilitative or long-term nursing care. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are derived from three component categories: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Majestic Care of Southport received a 1-star rating in both the health inspection and staffing categories, indicating performance that ranks in the lower tier nationally in those areas. The health inspection rating reflects findings from state inspection surveys, including the frequency and severity of deficiencies cited during standard and complaint inspections. The staffing rating is based on reported nurse staffing hours per resident per day, adjusted for resident acuity. In contrast, the facility received a 5-star rating in the quality measures category, the highest rating possible, reflecting favorable performance on clinical outcome indicators such as rates of hospitalization, falls, pressure ulcers, and other resident health metrics tracked by CMS. Majestic Care of Southport accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment. As a dually certified facility, it is available to residents who qualify under either federal program. Individuals and families seeking placement should contact the facility directly at (317) 881-9164 to inquire about current bed availability, private pay rates, and any additional payment options that may be accepted. When compared to national benchmarks, Majestic Care of Southport presents a mixed profile. Its overall 2-star rating is below the national average, driven primarily by its 1-star ratings in health inspections and staffing. These two components carry significant weight in the overall CMS rating calculation. However, the facility's 5-star quality measure rating distinguishes it in that category, suggesting favorable resident health outcomes as measured by CMS clinical data. This divergence between inspection and staffing ratings on one hand and quality measure performance on the other is a pattern that can occur when facilities demonstrate strong clinical outcomes despite lower staffing levels or inspection records.
